Come and see why Fitzroy Island is the favourite Great Barrier Reef holiday destination for Cairns Locals.
Unlike smaller coral cays or sandy islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Fitzroy was once part of mainland Australia. The island is largely untouched and protected as Fitzroy Island National Park, with walking tracks through the rainforest, heathland and open forest to Nudey Beach and the Summit.
Nudey Beach on Fitzroy Island is the #2 top-ranked spot on Brad Farmer’s list of Australia’s 101 Best Beaches for 2017.
Mr Farmer said Nudey Beach is “probably the loveliest island we have where a lush, protected rainforest meets a colourful reef – and it’s the Great Barrier Reef”.
The founder of Ocean Care Day and the Surfriders Foundation, Mr Farmer spent five months researching Australia’s 11,761 beaches to compile his list.
Over the last 6,000 years a fringing coral reef has formed around the island, and is home to numerous hard corals, soft corals and tropical fish species. These reefs are now protected as part as part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which stretches 2300km along the Queensland coastline.
More than just a Great Barrier Reef tour, Fitzroy island’s coral reefs and National Park have so much more for you to experience. Our short stay Fitzroy Island tour is a great budget choice for those with limited time, or who want to begin a tour from Cairns later in the day.
Departs Cairns at 11am aboard our fast catamaran for a 45 minute Great Barrier Reef Cruise, with 2 hours on the island before you return departure at 2:00pm.
Sea Kayaking offers a unique close up experience of paddling and snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, only $159. From our starting point on Fitzroy Island your guide will choose the best snorkelling location for the day, and take you on a fully guided adventure.
No prior paddling experience is necessary, and after your tour you have a half a day to explore Fitzroy Island. Swim, snorkel off the beaches or walk through the rainforest trails to Nudey Beach or the Secret Garden.
